1. Topband: ARRL's 'BPL' Reply (score: 1)
Author: Roger Parsons <ve3zi@yahoo.com>
Date: Thu, 21 Aug 2003 13:20:15 +0100 (BST)
If anybody has doubted that the ARRL serves the amateur radio community these replies provide the answer. Way more professional than anything I have seen from the BPL protagonists. The outcome of thi

John, SM5DZJ who is the QSL manager for 5R8FU has been kind enough to email saying the QSO was good. Whilst I agree that there can be and are major differences in receiving capability between station

There is a vague possibility that I may get the W4RNL array up before the snow flies. This is a half wave vertical parasitic array. I could practically feed the middle driven element at the base or a

I totally agree that line loss due to radiation is normally miniscule. I was heavily involved in the design of leaky feeder (radiating coax) cables when the world was rather younger. Even when cables

I agree completely. The auroral map of the Northern Hemisphere is my bible. When I see auroral activity in the James Bay region I know that I will be lucky to hear any signals at all on 160m! Red is

I think the 'Ditch Witch' must be similar to a machine I rented to place radials when I lived in England. The one I had was quite large and articulated in the middle. This made the steering technique

I have to agree, from bitter personal experience, with Tom's remarks about the susceptibility of remote logic switching. My beverage switch boxes are several thousand feet from the shack with logic s

I would like to sincerely thank everybody who stood by last night whilst I spent what seemed like hours getting my call across to A45XR. 160m IS still the Gentleman's Band! FWIW he was never better t

I tend to agree with the comments of others. However, up here there is a very definite correlation with geomagnetic activity. If I see the map of the auroral oval getting anywhere near James Bay, I k

But it does mean there won't be a path to anywhere when you are slap bang in the middle of the absorption! I do believe there are often enhanced conditions for stations at the right distance south of

JY9QJ was an excellent signal here before his sunrise. Quite surprising as I could hear no Europeans at that time, and the aurora was doing its thing quite well! 73 Roger VE3ZI ______________________

FWIW, 160m was not normally permitted in Kenya way back in 1968 when I was 5Z4LE. However, the ITU regulations allow its use, and I had no problem in getting special permission. There have been a num

Here in NE Ontario 3B9C was audible last night for about 20 minutes before his sunrise. However, he was extremely weak and very difficult copy. If it follows the D68C pattern there will be days when

In the UK 160m DF competitions are quite popular - a station is hidden in some horrible and inaccessible place usually within about 20 miles from a fixed starting position. The hunters use either loo

I have consistently found that a low 160m dipole will _sometimes_ be the best receive antenna, and would expect an 80m or 40m dipole to behave in a similar way. This is true here with 12 beverages an

The visible aurora was quite pretty here last night and seemed to be directly overhead. The S meter read S0 on the main antenna - it is usually about S5 on SSB bandwidth at night. The beverages appea

I am also convinced that a low dipole is sometimes the best receive antenna - and not only in the tropics. During periods of high geomagnetic absorption, and at some other times, I hear best on a low
